As instructional designers we need to be aware of different learning and instructional technologies used popularly today. A good understanding of these technologies will enable an Instructional Designer to design the learning content that hits the instructional goals effectively.
I have summarized some of resources I have visited below.


This website shares a wide range of information about online learning technologies, Learning theories, Learning styles, cognitive theories of multimedia learning and adult learning. Most of Instructional designer fail to hit the instructional objective because of cognitive load in their contents. This website contains a lot of posts and articles that guide a designer from cognitive load.
